STRONG CAST, WEAKISH STORY…!
An Audie Murphy western from 1954. A father/son transpo enterprise are hired to bring a shipment of gold to an embattled location where the Ute Indians hold a tenuous truce w/the passersby. Murphy & Western vet Walter Brennan play the business owners & what they don’t know is there are outside forces at play hoping that a war will ignite between the white man & the native peoples so that the Ute’s land can be properly exploited. Brennan is hurt in an early skirmish so its up to Murphy to smoke the peace pipe, as it were, w/the Indian elder but he carries a deep seated grudge against them since the chief’s son caused the death of his mother. Being a film on the cusp of being truly great & memorable, it’s a shame some of the individual elements are glossed over (something a more insightful director may’ve focused on) so that finish line could be crossed at the 90 minute mark. Look for Jay Silverheels (TV’s Tonto from the Lone Ranger series of the 50’s) in a pivotal role as the chief’s son.
Review By: masonfisk
“Move a little faster Sonny, I irritate real easy.”
Crown City, Colorado was born and built on gold, but by 1880 the town was tapped out, with the only remaining mineral left to mine located in the San Juan Mountains, right in the middle of Ute Indian Territory. Gary Brannon (Audie Murphy) is on the side of the miners, and wants to see his town survive along with it’s citizens. But father Sam (Walter Brennan) has been able to maintain an uneasy peace with the Utes and their Chief Ouray (Morris Ankrum), even after the death of his wife at the hands of a drunken Ute brave. Gary finds it harder to forgive and forget, and would rather consider all Indians his enemy based on the actions of a few.

Heavy Frank Walker (Lyle Bettger) leads the mining faction and insists on creating havoc with the Indians, finding ways to undo the truce established with the Utes by the elder Brannon. He brings in a black clad gunman named Morgan, enthusiastically portrayed by Hugh O’Brian in an uncharacteristic role. The future TV Wyatt Earp plays his part with gusto until brought down by Gary.

Ouray’s son Taos (Jay Silverheels) becomes Chief when the elder Indian dies, setting the stage for what will figure in the movie’s finale. With young Brannon present for the Chief’s burial on sacred ground, Taos warns him never to return at the risk of death. Knowing this, and having been framed for murder by Walker, Brannon leads Walker and his men into the sacred mountain area to be ambushed by the Utes, thereby risking his own neck in order to save it.

In 1954, Jay Silverheels was still in the middle of his co-starring role as Tonto in the Lone Ranger Television Series. In this film though, he’s brought to more regal bearing as the Indian Chief Taos, and looks particularly impressive in full war bonnet. For his part, the young Audie Murphy looks a bit out of his element among the heavies of the film, though he manages to prevail against every henchman presented. The film ends with the Utes and the Crown City citizens exchanging mining rights for hunting privileges on each other’s side of the mountains, a reasonable enough compromise that probably could have been worked out without the bloodshed, but then, there wouldn’t have been a story.
